For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of these terms in the present utility model can be understood depending on the specific circumstances.

[0025] As in Fig. 1 and Fig. As shown in Figure 2, the present utility model provides a mailbox comprising a storage cabinet 100, the storage cabinet 100 being equipped with a retrieval door 110 and a mail slot 120. The mailbox serves to receive letters and can also receive items such as parcels.

[0026] As in Fig. 3 and Fig. As shown in Figure 4, a mounting space 200 is provided at the access door 110 of the storage cabinet 100, wherein a light source 300 is arranged in an interior space of the mounting space 200; a front wall of the mounting space 200 is provided with a decorative groove 210, the decorative groove 210 being covered by a light-transmitting panel 220. Specifically, the mounting space 200 does not serve any function for storing packages and letters.

[0027] This is how it is, as in Fig. As shown in Figure 4, the luminaire 300 is arranged laterally to the light transmission panel 220, and the luminaire 300 is arranged offset from the decorative groove 210; in the case of luminaires of the luminaire 300, light from the luminaire 300 can escape outwards from the mounting space 200 through the light transmission panel 220.

[0028] In detail, “the luminaire 300 is arranged offset from the decorative groove 210” means that within an orthogonal projection area of ​​the decorative groove 210 the body of the luminaire 300 is not visible.

[0029] As in Fig. 3 and Fig. As shown in Figure 4, an energy supply strip 400 is attached to an outside of the removal door 110, the energy supply strip 400 comprising a photovoltaic panel 410 and a mounting frame 420; the photovoltaic panel 410 is attached to the mounting frame 420, and the photovoltaic panel 410 serves to supply power to the light source 300.

[0030] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 4, the mounting frame 420 is arranged above or below the mounting space 200, and the photovoltaic panel 410 extends beyond the front wall of the mounting space 200, thus allowing the photovoltaic panel 410 to be effectively exposed to sunlight to generate electrical energy.

[0031] In this way, the mailbox uses the photovoltaic panel 410 of the energy supply strip 400 for energy supply and provides illumination for the light source 300, which is not only energy-saving and environmentally friendly, but can also effectively indicate the position of the mailbox in low light conditions; the light source 300 is arranged in the mounting space 200 and offset from the decorative groove 210, thus avoiding direct eye contact between the user and the light source 300, and the light can diffuse softly outwards through the light transmission panel 220 at the decorative groove 210, significantly improving the decorative effect and user comfort.Furthermore, the design, in which the energy supply strip 400 and the mounting space 200 are attached to the removal door 110, leads to a high integration of the respective components, facilitates cable routing and simplifies maintenance; the light body 300 can simultaneously illuminate areas such as the insertion opening 120, thereby further facilitating the insertion of mail items, and the light body 300 can also move together with the door to create a variety of lighting effects.

[0032] Optionally, the light source 300 can be arranged on any side of the light transmission panel 220, namely on the top, bottom, left or right side, or on several sides (in which case the light source 300 can also be provided in multiples).

[0033] It is preferred, as in Fig. As shown in Figure 4, the luminaire 300 is designed as a single rod element and is arranged above the light transmission panel 220, which further ensures that the position of the luminaire 300 is in a blind spot of the user's field of vision.

[0034] Optionally, the light transmission panel 220 consists of a glass material or an acrylic sheet or the like.

[0035] Preferably, the light transmission panel 220 is covered with a warning pattern or a warning sticker or a translucent canvas or the like, wherein the warning pattern can be applied directly to a surface of the light transmission panel 220, the warning sticker can be glued onto the light transmission panel 220, and the translucent canvas can be attached to a perimeter of the light transmission panel 220.

[0036] The information provided by the indicator pattern, the indicator sticker, or the translucent panel can achieve a further indication or decorative effect. In particular, when a delivery person delivers letters or packages at night, the mailbox of the present utility model combines the translucent panel 220 with informational elements, so that the informational elements are clearly highlighted by the illuminated translucent panel 220.

[0037] In contrast, with the prior art mailbox, even when light is directed onto information on an outer wall of the existing mailbox, the specific assignment of the mailbox cannot be clearly emphasized, whereas the present utility model effectively overcomes this problem.

[0038] Preferably closes, as in Fig. Figure 4 shows a light-sensitive surface of the photovoltaic plate 410 with a plumb line at an angle α, where the angle α is greater than 90°. As soon as a liquid falls onto the inclined surface of the photovoltaic plate 410, it can immediately run off due to the inclination of the photovoltaic plate 410, thus preventing water from accumulating on the photovoltaic plate 410 over a longer period and easily causing damage.

[0039] Specifically, as in Fig. 3 and Fig. Figure 4 shows the retrieval door 110 comprising an outer plate 111 and an inner plate 112, the outer plate 111 and the inner plate 112 together forming the mounting space 200; the outer plate 111 serves as the front wall of the mounting space 200, and the inner plate 112 is designed to separate the interior of the mounting space 200 from a storage compartment of the storage cabinet 100. A top and a bottom surface of the inner plate 112 project beyond the outer plate 111, thereby facilitating the interaction of the inner plate 112 with other components of the mailbox.

[0040] As a specific design feature, the mailbox also includes, as in Fig. Figure 4 shows a mounting support plate 500, wherein the mounting support plate 500 is arranged in the mounting space 200; the mounting support plate 500 comprises a connecting plate 510 and a mounting plate 520, which are perpendicular to each other and are formed in one piece, wherein the connecting plate 510 is attached to the outer plate 111 or the inner plate 112, and the luminaire 300 is attached to the mounting plate 520, so that the luminaire 300 can emit light from a central area of ​​the mounting space 200 as far as possible.

[0041] In detail, as in Fig. Figure 4 shows the mounting support plate 500 being designed in an overall L-shape or inverse L-shape, wherein the mounting support plate 500 can be detachably connected to the outer plate 111 or the inner plate 112 by means of fastening means such as a screw connection, and the mounting support plate 500 can also be attached to the outer plate 111 or the inner plate 112 in the form of a double-sided foam adhesive tape, by gluing or by welding or the like.

[0042] Specifically, as in Fig. Figure 2 shows the insertion opening 120 arranged on the top of the storage cabinet 100; a hinged lid 600 is pivotally attached to the rear of the storage cabinet 100, and as shown in Fig. As shown in Figure 3, a removal lock 130 is arranged on the upper side of the inner plate 112 in an area that projects beyond the outer plate 111; as shown in Figure 3. Fig. 2 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 3, when the hinged lid 600 is closed, it covers the insertion opening 120 and the removal lock 130. This allows the hinged lid 600 to simultaneously protect the insertion opening 120 and the removal lock 130 of the storage cabinet 100.

[0043] They are preferably located, as in Fig. 2 shown, an outer edge on a top of the mounting frame 420 and a front wall surface of the outer plate 111 in the same vertical plane, thereby achieving a smooth transition between the mounting space 200 and the power supply strip 400, improving the optical appearance of the letterbox surface and further preventing water accumulation on the power supply strip 400.

[0044] It is preferred, as in Fig. 3 and Fig. Figure 4 shows that a strip-shaped decorative trim 700 is attached to the underside of the inner plate 112 in an area that projects beyond the outer plate 111. In detail, the decorative trim 700 is formed by bending a plate body.

[0045] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 3, the decorative strip 700 and the power supply strip 400 are of equal length, with the power supply strip 400 being arranged between the decorative strip 700 and the mounting space 200.

[0046] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 4, a front surface of the decorative strip 700 and a front surface of the outer panel 111 are flush; through the cooperation of the decorative strip 700 with the mounting space 200, an “inset” visual effect of the energy supply strip 400 is created on the mailbox surface, whereby the respective components work closely together and correspond to the prevailing aesthetic trend.

[0047] Optional, as in Fig. Figure 5 shows an integration housing 140 arranged in the storage space of the storage cabinet 100, wherein a battery and a control chip are arranged in the integration housing 140, and the battery, the light source 300 and the photovoltaic panel 410 are each electrically connected to the control chip, making it easier for the user to service the integration housing 140 by opening the storage space.

[0048] In detail, the photovoltaic panel 410 converts solar energy into electrical energy and feeds it into the control chip, which then manages the battery's charge (including, but not limited to, overcharge and deep discharge protection). Overcharge protection is achieved by monitoring the battery voltage in real time during the charging process; for example, if the battery voltage rises to 4.2 V, the control chip immediately interrupts the charging circuit to prevent overcharging.During a lighting phase or in insufficient lighting, the control chip, depending on a light-controlled signal, controls the release of the electrical energy stored in the battery to the light source 300, so that the light source 300 illuminates in dark surroundings, and performs deep discharge protection (for example by interrupting the discharge circuit when the battery voltage drops to 2.7 V), thereby achieving power supply control of the light source 300 and efficient energy management of the system.

[0049] The light-controlled signal is generated by detecting changes in the voltage output by the photovoltaic panel 410 itself, depending on the illuminance; the stronger the illumination, the higher the output voltage of the photovoltaic panel 410, and the weaker the illumination, the lower the output voltage, whereby the control chip determines the ambient brightness by monitoring this voltage value. This technique is state of the art and will not be described further here.

[0050] As a further optional feature, the control chip can also switch the 300 light unit on and off directly according to a time control.

[0051] Specifically, as in Fig. Figure 5 shows the integration housing 140 attached to the inner plate 112, which has a cable gland; a conductor from the light source 300 and a conductor from the photovoltaic panel 410 run through the cable gland to be connected to the control chip. Compared to mounting the integration housing 140 in other areas of the storage space, this configuration is more compact.

[0052] Optionally, the light transmission panel 220 is attached to the outside of the mounting space 200.

[0053] It is preferred, as in Fig. Figure 4 shows the light transmission panel 220 being attached in the mounting space 200, with an edge of the light transmission panel 220 being attached to a circumference of the decorative groove 210; this embodiment has a higher decorative effect, and the mounting space 200 can protect the light transmission panel 220 to some extent.

[0054] As an optional feature, with reference to Fig. 2. The upper part of the mailbox is the storage cabinet 100, and a combination cabinet 800 is attached to the lower part of the mailbox. The storage cabinet 100 and the combination cabinet 800 are separated by a partition, and the storage cabinet 100 and the combination cabinet 800 can also be separated by another cabinet body. The combination cabinet 800 can be closed at its bottom and fitted with a cabinet door, thus serving as an outdoor storage cabinet; alternatively, the combination cabinet 800 can be open at its bottom and serve only to lift the storage cabinet 100. Due to the design of the combination cabinet 800, the user does not have to bend down to insert mail, and at the same time, letters at the bottom of the storage cabinet 100 are in a position that the user can easily grasp.

[0055] As a further optional configuration, the upper part of the mailbox is storage cabinet 100, and a newspaper storage cabinet is provided below storage cabinet 100, the newspaper storage cabinet having a newspaper retrieval door. Storage cabinet 100 and the newspaper storage cabinet are separated by a partition panel.

[0056] Furthermore, a combination cabinet 800 is arranged below the newspaper storage cabinet, wherein the combination cabinet 800 and the newspaper storage cabinet are separated by a partition plate.

[0057] In summary, the light source 300, arranged in the mounting space 200 of the retrieval door 110 of the mailbox, emits soft light via the light transmission panel 220, thereby enabling the mailbox to be effectively located at night, making it easy for the user to find the mailbox and highlighting information on the mailbox, while at the same time avoiding the problem of direct light shining in and causing glare; the design has an attractive shape and also takes energy saving and environmental protection into account.

[0058] In the present utility model, the terms "assemble," "provide," "have," "connect," "connect together," and "insert into one another" are to be interpreted broadly. For example, they may refer to a permanent connection, a detachable connection, or a one-piece structure; they may refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they may refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection via an intermediate medium, or to an internal fluid or through-connection between two devices, elements, or components. It is possible for those skilled in the art to understand the specific meaning of the aforementioned terms in the present utility model, depending on the specific case.

[0059] The foregoing merely presents preferred embodiments of the present utility model and does not serve to limit the present utility model. Various modifications and adaptations of the present utility model are possible for a person skilled in the art.
